This is an I-Heart podcast.

Welcome to the Tudor Dixon podcast today.

We have Congressman Tim Burchett with us.

He is from Tennessee, but you are in Washington, D.C. right now handling this government

shutdown.

I just want to say we're recording this on Wednesday and anything could happen.

But tell us the behind the scenes right now, if you don't mind.

Well, I think there's a lot of things going on. I think what part of it really, nobody's addressed this.

The, um, it's, it's, it's Schumer is looking in his rear view mirror. He is looking at Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, or as I call her, Cortez.

She is probably chomping at the bit to run for U.S. Senate. Schumer knows that he has been left by. I mean, he's a liberal, but this, I don't, I don't know that he's approached,

the Marxist level yet. And I think he sees New York going completely communist Marxist for

this, this lunatic, they're getting ready to elect. And he knows that his bait, he's got to have that

base. So he's going to throw everything at this, you know, the transgender surgery, the, the

health care for illegals. And that's what he's looking at. He doesn't care about the country.

And Jeffries is just a, it's just a long for the ride because the House has already, we've already passed the bill. It's in the Senate. And it, and it's clearly, you know, the Democrats are, you know, all in D.C. I wanted to correct you. I'm sorry. I'm in Knoxville today, actually.

So, and we're not, there's no reason for us to be there because there's nothing going on.

We, the House has already done its business. It's up to the Senate now. And I think that's what

Schumer is doing. That's his ultimate plan is to appease his far liberal base.

He could care less about the country. He needs to go back to flipping raw hamburgers with cheese on him on his grill.

And, you know, I think he needs to go play with his grandkids if he has any and get on with his life because this thing is clearly

passed him by.

The country is not buying this one bit.
